They are usually the leftovers of incomplete uninstalls. If you really don't want them either uncheck them so they don't load or you can delete them. You need to run as admin to do that.

Be careful - Autoruns
Well Autoruns can't actually parse every file and a "file not found" error doesn't automatically mean that the file doesn't exist.
You'd need to confirm by searching for/ navigating to the file and you'd also need to unhide all hidden files to be sure.
See this thread and check the link in Post #9

Screenshot: I can assure you that both highlighted files exist and are needed even though Autoruns reports otherwise.

Also make sure autoruns is up to date. IT was updated recently and fixed several bugs. Including this one where it told me files did not exist, but after getting the latest one it no longer reports that.

- Your awesome for reading this.
This issue occasionally comes up in the Sysinternals forum:
http://forum.sysinternals.com/autoruns_forum16.html
The entries may be legitimate which should not be deleted. Autoruns is a 32 bit program and there are (or were) issues when run on a 64 bit OS (not the case here). There are other potential causes as well. Be sure you are using the latest version.
Always be careful with the results provided by utilities. There are situations where the information is incorrect.

Good thread. 
It has helped me
I found this Defrag Tools: #5 - Autoruns and MSConfig video to be very helpful
Latest version of SysInternals 'Autoruns' here

Suggestion:
A tutorial/stickie with a list of helpful links about using Sysinternals "AutoRuns"
- I have saved every link in this thread on a TXT file
- using Metapad36 (or Akelpad) with active URLs I can find everything for AutoRuns and add my own notes
- my browser Bookmarks are simply getting to cumbersome
